Research to improve the mathematical model for extruder performance and determine what makes plastic melt in an extruder is described. The solids conveying zone, use of the friction tester, temperature and pressure, and formulation differences are considered. Selection of operating conditions with consideration for the solid nature of resins can result in significant improvement in extruder performance; a 300% increase in production rate can be achieved.
